pickA lot of interesting analyses of studies that have driven our national eating recommendations and beliefs about what constitutes healthy eating. The end analysis is that carbs are the main culprit of many diseases and we should be eating more fats, which is the eating plan I arrived at years ago, but it is still fascinating to read about how some of the most commonly held beliefs were established.
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you read 1 book about Keto LCHF eating this year, make it this one. Gary delves into some of the misinformation surrounding this way of eating again whilst remaining factual and providing great information as to how and why Keto works. I would highly recommend this book for anyone considering a LCHF lifestyle, anyone currently following this lifestyle and even for the eye rollers/nay sayers of this lifestyle. Such an informative read.
pickWritten for everyday readers, this is a good starting point for understanding keto/LCHF. Bodies are varied in the same way minds are; it is ignorant to assume one way of eating works equally across the board. If you have never been overweight or obese, you don't know hunger the way those of us who fatten easily do. Overweight/Obesity is not about self-control or willpower.

pick⭐⭐⭐⭐A very informative book that will arm the reader with tools and a plan they need to rewire their appetite and start losing weight for good. This book also provides a lot of detailed information as to why we crave the unhealthy foods we do and the possible detrimental health impacts may be if you don't change up your eating habits. A great book, where the author explains things in an easy to understand manner.
pickTo paraphrase Gordon Gecko from Wall Street, Fat is Good. It's good for you, it makes food taste better, and low fat diets are actually harmful to us. I've toiled for years on low fat, high carb diets with little to show for it, but my current ketoesque diet, full of meat, cheese and butter, has allowed me to drop 55 pounds and feel the best I have in years. 4 💥💥💥💥

(This book is actually by Jason Fung, MD with some commentary by Jimmy Moore.)
Who knew there were so many benefits to fasting?
Started another round of Whole30 today. No sugar, carbs, etc until August 1st. So I cut up two pineapples for snacks. #summerfun #getcooking
pickShort review: I hate the name of this book because it is so pithy for such a deeply researched investigation into the unscientific basis of the US dietary guidelines. Ten years of work boiled down to click baity sounds bite. 🙄 I recommend this book.
Long review threaded in the comments because I have some things to say.
pickI picked up this book after hearing of many keto success stories. This book is very informative and satisfied my curiosity about keto - what to eat, how much to eat, what to expect when you switch to keto, etc. And now that I‘ve read it, I don‘t think keto is for me!
